What do you get if you combine a petty little man like Tab Atkins Jr. and a far-left wing company culture? The answer: Manipulated search results to punish those they believe "deserve it".

With the increasing evidence that Google operates with an open political agenda, it is not surprising that its employees feel comfortable using their privileged position at Google to smite those guilty of wrong-think.

Take the case of Google search employee Tab Atkins Jr. After a Twitter spat...

Every once in awhile, Do a 1 on 1 test on a relatively balanced map to see how well the AI is doing. I play on Normal or Gifted as that puts the AI on roughly equal terms with me.
